Greg Peterson's College Basketball Picks November 1

The college basketball season tip today, here's Greg's picks on the first two games of the season.

Villanova vs. Notre Dame 9:30 AM Eastern

Both teams played at a slower tempo last season as Villanova ranked 260th in total possessions per game while Notre Dame was 233rd. While Notre Dame helps their 3-point shooting with bring in Ethan Roberts from Pennsylvania, who had 16.9 points per game on 40.4% 3-point shooting, Villanova was 36th in opponent 3-point shooting away from home last season at 31.2% and have a big edge inside with 7-foot-4 international transfer Luigi Suigo.

Picks: Villanova -7.5 and Under 148.5 (Greg's Handicap Villanova -8 and Total 144)

High Point Panthers vs. Liberty Flames Midnight Eastern on Monday

Liberty last season was a profiling 3-point shooting team, ranking eighth in 3-point shooting percentage at 38.6%, but were 353rd in opponent 3-point shooting percentage at 37.7%. High Point was very balanced a season ago ranking 12th in points per possession on offense and 37th in points per possession allowed on defense and have much of their roster back while Liberty loses much of last season’s production. Liberty is also traditionally a very slow tempo team, ranking 345th in possessions per game last season and rebounded only 15.4% of their missed shots as an offensive rebound last season, which was last out of the 365 Division I teams.

Picks: High Point -6.5 & Under 155.5 (Greg's Handicap High Point -7.5 and Total 153.5)
